Managing and enforcing parking spots in metropolitan landscapes can be stressful, with challenges ranging from monitoring authorized and unauthorized parkers, issuing violations and citations, and collecting fees efficiently. ParqEx, a leading player in the parking and property technology industry, has revolutionized the management and enforcement of all parking with its Enforcer app. This powerful tool offers an extensive parking enforcement solution, including a streamlined fee collection process for property management built within the app. In this blog, we’ll explore just how efficient fee collection is with ParqEx.

What Fines or Fees Collection can you do with ParqEx?

The ParqEx platform is highly customizable and depending on the individual property’s requirements, it can be configured to collect any fines or fees. Parking-related fees or fines can vary significantly depending on the country, city, or municipality you are in. However, here’s a general list of some common types of parking fees and fines:

  1. Metered Parking Fees: Charges for parking in spaces that have time limits and require payment. Fees can vary depending on location and time of day.
  2. Permit Parking Fees: Charges for obtaining a permit to park in designated areas, often in residential neighborhoods or near businesses.
  3. Overstay Fines: Fines for exceeding the allotted time in a parking space, such as overstaying in a metered space or 2-hour parking zone.
  4. No Parking Zone Fines: Fines for parking in areas where parking is not allowed, usually indicated by signs.
  5. Handicapped Parking Violations: Fines for parking in spaces reserved for handicapped individuals without the appropriate permit.
  6. Fire Lane Violations: Fines for parking in designated fire lanes, which are critical for emergency access.
  7. Loading Zone Violations: Fines for parking in areas reserved for loading and unloading.
  8. Street Sweeping Violations: Fines for parking on streets during designated street sweeping times.
  9. Red or Yellow Curb Violations: Fines for parking next to colored curbs that indicate no parking or limited parking conditions.
  10. Parking in Front of a Driveway: Fines for blocking a private or public driveway.
  11. Double Parking: Fines for parking parallel to another parked car, typically in a traffic lane.
  12. Expired Registration: While not strictly a parking violation, vehicles parked on public roads with expired registration tags can be ticketed or even towed in some jurisdictions.
  13. Parking Opposite the Direction of Traffic: Fines for parking against the flow of traffic.
  14. Oversized Vehicle Violations: Fines for parking large vehicles, like RVs or trailers, in areas where they are prohibited.
  15. Parking in a Bike Lane: Fines for parking in designated bicycle lanes.
  16. Event or Stadium Parking Fees: Fees for parking at or near event venues or stadiums.
  17. Monthly Parking Fees: For those who rent a space in a parking garage or lot on a monthly basis.
  18. Early Exit or Cancellation Fees: In some parking garages or lots, if you pre-pay for a certain time and leave earlier, you might not get a refund.
  19. Towing Fees: If a vehicle is parked illegally and is towed, the owner might have to pay a towing fee and potentially a daily storage fee until the car is claimed.
  20. Booting Fees: In some cities, if you have multiple unpaid parking tickets, your car can be “booted” – a device is placed on the wheel to immobilize the vehicle. There’s a fee to have the boot removed.
  21. Airport Parking Fees: Charges for parking in airport lots or garages, which might be tiered based on proximity to the terminal.
  22. Late Payment Penalties: If a parking ticket isn’t paid within the designated time frame, additional fees might be added.

Remember, the exact fees and fines, as well as the regulations that dictate when they’re applied, can vary. Always check local parking regulations, the ParqEx app, and signage to avoid unwanted fines.

Benefits of using the right enforcement platform for fee management, collections, and reporting

There are countless advantages to using ParqEx’s Enforcer app for enforcing your properties, but have you considered an enforcement solution also to be a fee collection tool? Learn about the benefits that our Enforcer app provides to property management and enforcement companies regarding fee collection!

1) In-App Payment Processing

One of the most straightforward benefits of ParqEx’s Enforcer app is its ability to streamline payment processing. All fees; including but not limited to parking renal (short-term, monthly, annual), citations for violations (towing, boot, fines, storage), deposits, etc., can be collected seamlessly within the ParqEx Enforcer app, eliminating any need for manual, paper transactions. This saves time, reduces the risk of human mistakes, and decreases costs regarding paper products as payment processing is collected electronically within the Enforcer app.

2) Parking Violations and Citations

The Enforcer app goes beyond just standard parking fee collection. It enables parking enforcement officers to collect parking violations and citation fees.

They can alter their hourly rates, daily fees, monthly parking pricing, event-specific fees, and parking rules and regulations; the app can handle it all, ensuring precise and constant fee collection for the property.

5) Integration Capabilities

ParqEx understands that parking and property management are just two aspects of the real estate world.

The Leading HOA Parking Enforcement Solution

 

When it comes to HOA’s, there are many challenges and hurdles that the board needs to overcome. An overwhelming resounding challenge among many HOA’s surrounds parking. Two of the biggest hassles for board members are the parking security at the property and many parking violations. Of course, safety is top-of-mind for any property. So, an ever-increasing trend is that HOA’s seek effective parking enforcement solutions to avoid parking violations, frustrated residents, higher operating costs, and a loss in revenue. 

 

HOA’s & HOA board members: are you seeking convenient ways to catch parking violations, increase property security, and end complaints from residents regarding parking enforcement? Keep on reading and learn why ParqEx is the leading HOA parking enforcement solution!

What is ParqEx’s Enforcer App?

 

ParqEx’s Enforcer App aims to provide a state-of-the-art parking enforcement and management system. As a result, HOA’s & enforcement officers can monitor and verify every vehicle entering and exiting the property. Taking it one step further, the Enforcer App allows enforcement officers to issue parking violations and citations directly on the app. There’s no longer a need for printed tickets, passes, hang tags, signs, decals, or even QR codes with this digitalized system. Time and time again, ParqEx’s Enforcer app has proven to be the easiest and most effective way to enforce all HOA’s. So, if you are looking to decrease the number of unauthorized vehicles on your property and improve security, the Enforcer App from ParqEx is the perfect solution for you.

 

How it Works!

 

With the Enforcer App, all the information about your HOA’s parking is within your hand. Once the app is open, you can monitor and verify every vehicle currently parked on the property. Then, if you catch an unauthorized parker, you can take immediate action. Here’s a little more on how it works:

  • Control

 

HOA’s authorized board members and staff will gain complete control over who can access the HOA’s parking. Some residents may not require parking and wish to list their parking spot for rent on ParqEx’s Marketplace. The HOAs may even want to list some available guest parking spots through ParqEx’s GuestParq. Either way, both these scenarios will increase the stream of traffic on your property. The overall beauty of the Enforcer App is that you have control of these scenarios. HOA’s can dictate if they want to allow residents to rent out their spots, determine if they will have guest parking available, and ultimately decide who can park on the property.

 

  • Digital Options

 

One of the many reasons why ParqEx is the leading HOA parking enforcement solution is due to its digitized parking solutions. For example, suppose your HOA is a gated community or has a secure parking garage. In that case, ParqEx’s Access Control technology can remotely open doors via the Access + App or our Licence Plate Recognition technology. Bearing that in mind, HOA’s no longer have to worry about lost fobs, clickers, tickets, etc. With the Enforcer App working in tandem with our access control technologies, digital parking passes, tickets, and citations can be issued through the app.

 

  • Visibility

 

At a glance, the Enforcer app will provide you with all information about any car parked on the HOA’s property. With this knowledge, you can quickly identify which vehicle belongs to which tenant and their guest and which does not belong. Then, with ParqEx’s real-time enforcement tools, you can take action on any unauthorized user and issue parking tickets with just a few clicks in the app!

 

  • Secure Cross-Platform Convenience

 

Like all ParqEx’s solutions, the Enforcer App works on all platforms (iOS, Android, the web, etc.). This cross-platform convenience lets HOA’s easily integrate the app on all devices and desktops. Moreover, ParqEx’s technology is cloud-hosted, resulting in high performance and reliability.

 

  • Paperless Ticketing

 

ParqEx has succeeded in reducing its clients’ operating costs via the paperless ticketing option. As ticketing and issuing citations can all be done within the app, many properties have opted to go entirely paperless. However, it is the HOA’s decision at the end of the day. You can decide if you want to issue paper tickets or become entirely paperless.

Enforcer App Solutions

 

There are many features built into the Enforcer App. Keep in mind that more features are released with every app update ParqEx releases! Have a feature in mind? We would be happy to build that out for you. Some current key features include:

 

  • Multiple Properties

 

Does your HOA have multiple properties? Is there a large “campus” of properties that your HOA handles? Another significant feature of the Enforcer App is the ability to use this tool at all of your properties.

 

  • Smart Search

 

Instead of enforcement officers using the old chalk-on-tire solution, the Enforcer App has a smart search tool that allows you to search, view quickly, and verify all vehicles on the property. In addition, the app can search based on vehicle information like a license plate, make and model, reservation number if a guest, or even the spot number if parking is assigned.

 

  • Instant Citations

 

As mentioned, but something we love to stress, you can now instantly enforce parking violations via the app. ParqEx’s violation log allows you to issue citations within seconds. Then, post a photo of the offending vehicle accompanied by its license plate number on the app and send the ticket via email, SMS, or print the ticket if preferred. 

 

  • Strengthened Management

 

The overall management of the property is strengthened when ParqEx’s Enforcer App is working in tandem with other parking solutions. Among many other things, with the Enforcer App, you can monitor all activity on the property, see who has not paid their violations, and even implement a “Do Not Tow” list for specific vehicles at the HOA.

The Leading HOA Parking Enforcement Solution

 

Enforcing a property does not need to be a back-breaking exercise. Enforcement officers do not need to drive around the property to monitor all vehicles continuously. Old-fashioned (easy to fraudulently copy) parking tags, decals, passes, etc., no longer have to be the way to enforce your HOA. With ParqEx’s Enforcer App, HOA’s can easily enforce their property’s parking.

 

The user-friendly app allows HOA’s, board members, staff, and enforcement officers to monitor all parking activity at their properties, keep an eye on all guests, manage a do not tow list, and issue all violations/citations. So stop wasting your time and money on old-school ways of enforcing your HOA. Instead, save with ParqEx’s Enforcer App!

“ParqEx’s Enforcer App is the easiest parking enforcement tool we’ve ever used. It saves us dozens of hours of work each month.” Ramon P., President

Enforcer App & Access + LPR

 

As mentioned above, the Enforcer app works wonders with ParqEx’s other parking technologies. ParqEx’s License Plate Recognition technology (LPR) continues to be an excellent pairing for the Enforcer App. With LPR cameras on-site, each vehicle’s license plate must be registered and verified before being permitted onto the HOA’s property. One of the biggest challenges for HOA’s is unauthorized parking; ParqEx’s LPR cameras quickly eliminate that hassle. If the license plate is not registered in the HOA’s system, the car will not be allowed on the property, resulting in less work for enforcement officers in finding these violators. It is as simple as that!
